My dad managed the Paramount for several years in the late 40’s and 50’s. I found this photo from 1953 taken in the lobby of the Paramount:

He’s the guy with his right hand on the plaque. You’ll notice the typo calling the event the “50th Anniversary of Supersonic Flight” rather than the “50th Anniversary of Flight” as the Wright Brothers flew in December 1903. The wall poster in the background on the right is for John Wayne’s 1953 movie “Island in the Sky.”

Dad also participated in the rededication of the Paramount Center in March 2010 at the age of 90. Here he is being interviewed at the event:
